Re: hooker mufflers
I've used them in the past. They aren't very loud and didn't seem to hinder flow at all.
Swapped over to Flowmaster full race bullet mufflers and picked up nothing.

Re: hooker mufflers
I've run them on three different vehicles of varying performance levels and I really like them. They can get pretty snotty without a crossover but sound great. I too saw no difference between the mufflers and an open system on a 480 hp 383.
Re: hooker mufflers
I like the aerochambers, I like them ganged so the engine doesn't even see them, I like their sound and anti reversion design, I don't like welding with 20+ year old welding rods!

Re: hooker mufflers
I have a 3" in/out aerochamber on a turbo 3.5 V6, I think it sounds pretty good.

Re: hooker mufflers
I'm sure it's way off, that was the very first start of the car... ported heads, big cam, custom upper intake, the list goes on. I need to get start working on that car again...Carnut1 wrote:Sounds like your timing is a bit off on that 3.5l.ericjon262 wrote:I have a 3" in/out aerochamber on a turbo 3.5 V6, I think it sounds pretty good.

Re: hooker mufflers
I use them on my 68 AMX and they sound awesome and the car runs good ! I have 3" offset in.... center out... to clear my sub frame connectors and ladder bar attachments.

Re: hooker mufflers
here's another short video, still needs lots of tuning work, but I got it running again for the first time in almost a year.
